HANDSOME CHANGES.
Notable improvements ON Cent

Notable Improvements ON Center
Street.
The Messrs. Whites new brick building on
Center street is nearly completed. It con-
tains three stores, one of which will be occu-
pied by Doolittle & Phillips and one by Henry
Kraft, the merchant tailor whose present
quarters are under the New Haven House.
Mr.. P. Bergen, the fresco painter whose rare
skill has been displayed in SO many of our
fine buildings and residences, as for instance
the City Hall and General Greeley's residence
on Trumbull st. besides many in other places,
has nearly completed the frescoing of the
store to be occupied by 81. Kraft. His work
is admirably done, the colors being light and
pleasing and the ornamentation very delicate
and tasteful, stamping him as a genuine
artist.
The fine hall at Loomis' Temple of Music
is still in the hands of the painters and
masons The latter are finishing off the
walls of the large smoking room in the rear
of the balcony and the painters are finishing
the work on the ceiling. The hall already
shows a great improvement and has been
greatly changed in appearance, which is
notably due to the removal of the old stage
and anterooms, making the hall one-third
larger, with clear space to the Orange street
windows. The hall will be rented for soirees,
weddings, lectures, concerts, etc., but not
for dramatic entertainments owing to the re-
moval of the stage. The change in the bal
cony is also very noticeable, this being a
level floor instead of gallery and having
ample space for the orchestra and for refresh
ment tables.
The elegant new building of the Security
Insurance company further up on the street,
near Church, is a splendid addition to the
mercantile section of the city. The building
adorns the locality and is very artistic
specimen of architecture.

Still q Mystery.

Wesley Carviile, of "a Orange street, has
not returned from Lewiston, Me-, yet,
whittier he was called on Tuesday by the
sudden death of his daughter. A reporter
for the COURIER called at Mr.. Carville's resi-
dence last night. His wife, very pleasant
woman, said she had looked for him yester.
day morning, but as he did not come she did
not expect him before this morning. She
said she knew nothing about the case. Ev-
srything was yet mystery as to how Addie,
who was her stepdaughter, met her death.
She srid that the excellent letter she wrote
home last week would not indicate that she
had committed suicide. The girl was twenty,
one years old and never lived in New Haven,
being no nearer here than Boston. She was
employed by family in Woodford's. Her
body was found in a small stream. Mrs.
Carville does not know whether her husband
has started for home or not She had some
idea of sending dispatch to him last night
to find out if he had started for home. She
has had no particulars from him since his
leaving New Haven on Tuesday.

A New Hayener who is interested in the
sparrow question desires the following copied
from the New York Evening Post. The
gentleman, W. A. G., lives at New Brighton,
Staten Island, and wrote to the Post as
follows:
Sir-A curious thing happened here q
week ago to-day. About 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon a flock of birds-hundreds appar-
ently-few in circles round and round our
house and garden, never settling. This con-
tinued for nearly an hour without sound.
Meantime our saucy sparrows disappeared
and have not yet returned, Our trees, which
at dawn and twilight resounded with their
chattering, are now silent and deserted. ]

probably deserter, for he was the only one
left. would describe the bird as about the
size of the sparrow, very slender, with full
black eye, dark mouse color, with light,
almost white, breast.
This morning for the first time since their
expulsion came three or four of our native
sparrows, but none of the foreign residents.
I am curious to know if this happened
anywhere else. My place being large

the West Haven horse railroad found coach
dog on his platform as the car was about to
start for Savin Rock. Thinking the dog be-
Ionged to someone on the car he paid no fur
Their thought to the case. But when the car
stopped at West Haven shore at the end of
the route no one claimed the dog. Moreover,
when Driver Davis started up the horses to
return to the city the dog was back again on
the platform, all ready for the return ride.
The dog behaving well the driver made
friends with it. Arrived at West Haven the
dog hoped off the car and Driver Davis tried
his best to convince the animal that he ought
to go home, but in vain. When the car
started up to go back the dog was on hand
again The dog made the second trip down
and back and then the third trip down and
back, and no persuasion nor talking to was
of aTa1 to keep him off the car or make him
go home. On looking at his collar it was
found that he belonged to A. L. Platt, 457

A novel device to prevent COWS from eat
ing the best of the feed was recently adopted
by rich farmer in Goshen. Having dry
cow in his flock, he attached to her head an
ox-bow continuance in such manner as to
make impossible for the animal to get her
head within six or eight inches of the ground,
obi ging her to eat thistles, weeds and tall
swamp grass, thereby saving the white honey
suckle and low sweet grass for the COWS that
give milk. This is an instance of economy

older States stand by and look at the young
